1971 Indo-Pak War and Fourth Five Year Plan

• The Fourth Five Year Plan period in India was from 1969 to 1974.

• The 1971 Indo-Pak War (also known as the Bangladesh Liberation War) was a significant military conflict that resulted in the creation of Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan).

• The war lasted for 13 days (December 3-16, 1971) and is considered one of India's most decisive military victories.

• The Fourth Five Year Plan faced several challenges during this period, including the war and the influx of refugees from East Pakistan.

• Despite these challenges, the plan continued with its focus on growth of agriculture to achieve self-sufficiency in food, and to increase agricultural production to meet the requirements of industry and exports.

• The war had economic implications for India, as military expenditures increased during this period, affecting some of the planned economic priorities.
